Review on 🧵 Ultimate Sewing Guide: Easy Step-by-Step Techniques for Crafting Clothing and Home Accessories by Carol Miller

I bought this book together with the thread guide. I'm glad I bought them both. The new Complete Sewing Guide Reader's Digest is a comprehensive, detailed guide. I am an interim return seamstress. This book is jam-packed with construction details with easy-to-understand diagrams. It provides detailed information on fabric types, how to fix fit problems, and how to change a basic pattern. Commercial patterns are so poorly labeled and documented that I hardly ever use them anymore (I use Pattern Master Boutique), and when I do I often throw instructions about 1/3 of the way. This book with detailed instructions on different building styles and construction methods will save me a lot of time and nerves. The book includes detailed instructions for several Simplicity patterns. Even with patterns I would never use, such as B. a little girl's frilly dress, the instructions include detailed assembly instructions (both by hand and by machine). This is a great reference book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who sews, regardless of your sewing level. I also bought a thread sewing guide and I'm glad I bought that too. The topic guide contains various information in many places. The Threads book talks about the simplicity of design for different fits, and the Reader's Digest book talks about the changes. The Yarn Guide contains information about fiber, texture and properties such as drapes, while the book's digest contains a chapter on fabrics with some suggestions of what they are made of and what project the fabric might be suitable for. The Reader's Digest book has detailed instructions for sewing waist bands, collars, sleeves, beveled corners, etc., and the thread guide gives the order of construction. I think we can drop instructions altogether. Hooray! The Thread manual has detailed information on the types of needles and close-up needles, while the Reader's Digest book has no details on them. If you can only buy a sewing reference guide, I recommend Reader's Digest. If you can buy both, I don't think you'll ever need one again, and you can move on to specific books or software that may be on your wish list.
